The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

Hearing this, the Queen burst into tears again. She wanted to hug her child, but was afraid that she would hurt him and break him. "Qing'er, don't say that. Just hold on. Hold on a little longer. Father and mother will definitely find someone who can cure you!"

She and the emperor were married, and they had only one son, Qing'er, whom she loved like the apple of her eye.

If Qing'er were gone...she felt as if the whole sky had fallen down just by thinking about it.

Emperor Hong Jing gritted his teeth and trembled, "What can't be forced? I am the emperor, how can I not force it! Come, issue my decree immediately! Find a master of medicine in the market, as long as there is someone who can cure the prince's strange disease, and I can agree to any conditions as long as it does not endanger the country! Want a huge fortune, fame and fortune, it's all OK!"

"Your Majesty, I will do it right away!" The chief eunuch Cui Jing immediately bowed and accepted the order, then hurried out.

The imperial physician Yu Heng also raised his head tremblingly at this time and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, I have a senior brother who has been wandering around the streets for many years. Although he is not very decent, his medical skills are very good. I will write a letter to inform him of the prince's illness and ask him to give me some advice?"

Emperor Hong Jing closed his eyes tiredly and said, "I agree."

Because of the Crown Prince’s serious illness, a shadow seemed to cast over the festive atmosphere in the imperial city.

The gloom in the palace was even heavier. No matter in the harem or the front hall, the concubines and officials did not dare to show any joy. They even spoke carefully and in a low voice to avoid being framed by villains.

The emperor's decree was issued and posted in all cities and towns. It immediately became the most hotly discussed topic among the people during the New Year holidays, and even the remote town of Yuanzhou got wind of it.

During the period after the New Year and before the spring plowing season, Lin Dashan was still doing odd jobs in the town to earn some money. When he came back that day, he told his family about the gossip he had just heard.

"The emperor has six sons, and the one he loves the most is the one he had with the queen. He appointed this prince as the crown prince early on, but he didn't expect that... Alas, the crown prince was seriously ill and there was no cure. The emperor issued an imperial decree to find a capable person to treat the crown prince. Some people secretly said that the crown prince's fate was weak and he couldn't bear the great blessing, and he was destined to die young. The emperor was anxious and tried all kinds of treatments. Speaking of capable people, where are there more capable people than in the palace? There are so many imperial doctors, but not one of them can cure the crown prince's illness."

Lin Erhe was curious, "Did they tell me what disease the prince had?"

"If we know what disease he has, we can prescribe the right medicine. How true can the rumors from the capital be when they reach our remote place? The only rumor we hear is that the prince's five internal organs are failing, but we can't find the cause of the disease, and there are no signs of poisoning..." At this point, Lin Dashan shook his head and sighed, "It's difficult. The emperor is a wise ruler, but God is not kind. I heard that the prince is smart, kind and generous. He is only three or four years older than Song'er and Bai'er, and he is still a little kid."

Mrs. Lin fed her husband some medicine, put down the empty bowl and sat down by the fire. "Good people are blessed by heaven. We ordinary people are far away from heaven and will never see the edge of the imperial city in our lifetime. It's more important to take care of our own lives."

As soon as Li Sulan saw her mother-in-law's surprised look, she knew that her father-in-law must be teasing her again, "Mom, did Dad make you angry again?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it. As soon as she did, Mrs. Lin started to complain like a lit firecracker, "Isn't it great? He's getting rebellious at his age. Since the New Year, he's been talking about reducing the dosage every day, shaking his old arms and insisting that he's getting better. It's really worrying! I only do this because he can't move, otherwise I would have scolded him to death! What are you talking about, old child? Is he that old?"

The old woman started scolding, and the children kept quiet and dared not say a word. If they tried to appease their mother, they would offend their father. If they said something good for their father, their mother would definitely be unhappy.

Old man Lin curled up in bed feeling very aggrieved. He raised his voice to defend himself, "My dear, how dare I fool you? I'm not thinking of saving money, I really feel better. I told you but you just wouldn't listen. Isn't this like pretending to be sick while holding down a healthy person? Ouch, ouch, my chest is blocked and I can't breathe, ouch!"

The old and young in the main room, "..."

Mrs. Lin was angry at first, but she was actually amused by the shouts from her husband in the room.

The old guy starts panting when you say a few words to him.

Bai Xiang leaned against his parents and laughed so hard that he was staggering. His voice was clear and crisp, "Grandma, Grandpa is in good spirits! He will be well soon!"

The old woman had already calmed down, and after hearing the auspicious words from the little girl, she became even happier, rubbing the top of the child's head and saying, "Sweet little mouth!"

"Mom, we've seen it all over this period of time. My dad is getting better day by day. He speaks with more energy and his face has gained some weight!" Lin Dashan took advantage of his mother's improved mood and said, "Why don't we tell Dad that we can take him to town to have a doctor take a look? Whether he's fine or not, the doctor can prescribe the right medicine, right?"

Lin Erhe nodded, "Indeed. Anyway, we still have some free time during this period. We can borrow a bullock cart from the village chief and take Dad to the town to see the crops. The spring plowing season will start soon, and we won't be able to spare the time by then."

Lin Jiang also lowered his voice and said, "Dad is worried about the bandit incident. He feels that he can't protect his family and has become a burden... Mom, just go along with Dad for once and let him go. When the time comes, with the doctor's approval and you keeping him in check, Dad won't dare to be uncomfortable anymore."

The children's words made sense. Mrs. Lin glanced at the door and finally gave in. "Okay, let's go and have a look! It will save me from having to keep nagging you in my ears. My ears are going to get calluses."

It was still early, not even noon, and now that the decision had been made, the family immediately began to get busy.

The third brother went to the village chief's house to borrow a bullock cart.

The eldest and second sons dressed the old man and prepared him to go out.

Mrs. Lin quickly prepared a thin blanket to keep out the cold. It was still chilly in Yuanzhou in late winter, and it was easy to catch a cold if the cold wind lasted for too long.

Li Sulan and Zhang Cui'e prepared a hot water bottle to keep the old man warm.

As for the three little kids in the family, they kept chattering around the old man's bed, making it impossible for the old man to think about anything else.

"Grandpa, you can get better if you go to town and see a doctor!"

"My brother, sister and I are waiting for you at home. Grandpa, come back after you see the doctor!"

"Grandpa brought some delicious food, hahaha!"

The ox cart was conspicuous, and many people looked at it all the way from the village chief's house to the Lin family's courtyard gate and kept asking questions. As a result, as soon as the ox cart stopped in front of the yard, half of the village knew that the Lin brothers were going to take their old man to the town to see a doctor.

The Li family and the Lin family were neighbors, separated only by a vegetable garden. Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Li ran out of her house and put a piece of red paper on the ox cart. "The New Year has just passed, and we just happened to have some leftover red paper at home. Put one on the cart to bring good luck! There will definitely be good news when we get to town!"

Along the road leading out of the Lin family village, people in the farmhouses on both sides of the road would hear the noise and stick their heads out to greet Old Man Lin and say some auspicious words.

Mrs. Lin was worried, so she accompanied them this time. Every time she heard the villagers asking about their concerns, she felt warmed in her heart.

An ox cart, a few people, carrying a cart full of invisible warmth and expectations, are gradually moving away on the road where the ice and snow are about to melt.
